Louie is definitely ready for retirement. They're driving him like he's some wide-eyed rookie who doesn't know any better... It'd be much better if he just walked away from Formula 1 while he's still young and healthy enough to enjoy it.

Does anyone actually have a clue what went sideways with the RB 1?

Yeah, total mess. Dude hands them a win even though they were actively trying to screw him over, and they'll probably still dump him in the end. You can't make this stuff upβ€”Ferrari is just built different. πŸ™

ESPN reporting on it:

"Just moments before the green flag dropped, a collision occurred that took out several cars." 🀣🀣

Arthur Chase said:Since I watch Formula 1 on Sky, I have to admit that having Lujo at the top of the broadcast isn't exactly my idea of a good time. Honestly, the way the commentators constantly fawn over him is just getting ridiculous. It's way too much.

Just imagine if
actually pulled off a win. Listening to those commentators try to spin that would be an absolute nightmare.

ruggedcyclist56 said:Haha, I mean, Charles Leclerc went off track, which allowed Carlos Sainz to take the lead. What speed was he supposed to drop down to at 31 miles/h just to keep Charles in first place?

Wait, when exactly did Charles Leclerc go off track?

Sam Clark75 said:I guess it’s just funny how they basically handed him the win despite trying everything to mess with him, and then they might even sideline him later on. I suppose you can't really argue with that; Scuderia Ferrari is just on another level. πŸ™

Maybe Carlos Sainz could probably thank Charles Leclerc, because if he hadn't been busy tangling with Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton for those few laps, he might have ended up blowing this victory too.

He hit some debris on the track. He drifted off the racing line and picked up those bits of carbon fiber that flew off someone else during a collision earlier. It looks like the marshals didn't clear the track well enough, so he caught them wide and went right over the mess.

It’s honestly striking to see the look on the faces of those folks from Scuderia Ferrari... they seem completely let down, even though their driver actually took the win 🀣

I honestly don't get it... why on earth did they keep Charles Leclerc out there during the Safety car instead of just bringing him in for some softs or even a fresh nose?

Honestly, Charles Leclerc should probably just give a massive thank you to Carlos Sainz, considering he was basically being towed through half the race...

Morgan Barrett6 said:I honestly can't wrap my head around why they kept Charles Leclerc out there during the Safety car instead of just bringing him in for some soft tires or even a whole new nose!

Well, I suppose it's because the folks over at Scuderia Ferrari are such absolute masters of tactical artistry, aren't they? πŸ‘

And there you have itβ€”just typical behavior from the Scuderia Ferrari pit wall. That’s exactly why we struggle.

Charles Leclerc basically played a game of ping-pong at the startβ€”first picking off Sergio Perez, then chipping away at Max Verstappen later on. If he hadn't been there, Red Bull Racing would have just cruised to an easy win.

Race breakdown:
Right when Esteban Ocon pulls onto the centerline and the Safety car notification hits, the leaders head toward the Hangar straight. I’m sitting there thinking there’s actually enough time for Ferrari to get smart, bring both drivers in, and play it safe... but of course, they mess it up and leave Charles out in the cold.

Easily the best race of the season so far.

There is no such thing as harmony in F1 🀣

And then you have people who think this is just one specific teamβ€”as if they’re all cut from the same cloth

That was easily the best race I've seen in a long time... if I can even remember a better one

Richard Walker38 said:He damaged the floor, drifted slightly wide off the racing line, and ended up picking up some carbon fiber debris left over from an earlier collision... It seems like the guys out there sweeping the track didn't move it far enough away, so he just sailed right over it instead.

Thanks. I’m watching the race with the commentary set to Canadian. I’ll be sitting here chattering non-stop without a single moment of silence, despite the fact that I don't understand a single word of Canadian... Thanks again. πŸ™‚
